This study examines the scholarly communications community's public response to the global pandemic. A discourse analysis was conducted of press releases, blogs, and website updates across non‐profits, commercial publishers, government agencies, technology companies, and universities to identify (1) the range of support activities immediately undertaken following the proclamation of the pandemic; (2) the language and style of public discourse used, demonstrating how different organizations characterized their responses and roles during the crisis; and (3) specific patterns that emerged among this community related to the process of organizational sensemaking. The findings show that the global community appeared highly adaptive and conceptually aligned in its initial response. Different actors within the community presented distinct identities relative to leadership, advocacy, service, or constituent orientation. More importantly, a majority of organizations demonstrated the use of sensegiving strategies to influence the future state of scholarly publishing, particularly with respect to the expressed desire for greater global collaboration, transparency, quality assurance, and openness. These findings may have implications regarding the future enactment of open and collaborative research publishing, which is especially significant at this stage of the global open science movement's development.

从意义建构到意义给予：学术传播界对全球大流行的公众反应的话语分析

这项研究考察了学术交流界对全球大流行的公开反应。对非营利组织、商业出版商、政府机构、技术公司和大学的新闻稿、博客和网站更新进行了话语分析，以确定 (1) 在宣布大流行后立即开展的支持活动的范围；(2) 所使用的公共话语的语言和风格，展示不同组织在危机期间如何描述他们的反应和角色；(3) 在这个社区中出现的与组织意义建构过程相关的特定模式。调查结果表明，全球社会在其最初的反应中表现出高度适应性和概念上的一致性。社区内的不同参与者在领导、倡导、服务或选民导向方面表现出不同的身份。更重要的是，大多数组织展示了使用感知策略来影响学术出版的未来状态，特别是在表达对更大的全球合作、透明度、质量保证和开放性的渴望方面。这些发现可能对未来开放和合作研究出版的制定产生影响，这在全球开放科学运动发展的这个阶段尤为重要。尤其是关于加强全球合作、透明度、质量保证和开放性的表达愿望。这些发现可能对未来开放和合作研究出版的制定产生影响，这在全球开放科学运动发展的这个阶段尤为重要。尤其是关于加强全球合作、透明度、质量保证和开放性的表达愿望。这些发现可能对未来开放和合作研究出版的制定产生影响，这在全球开放科学运动发展的这个阶段尤为重要。
